So close. It’s almost a challenge he sets himself now to make her laugh. Kaz’s mind works in a manner where he needs constant stimulation and puzzles to feel satisfied, but it’s rare that those workings aren’t darker in nature. With Inej though there’s a balance. He is striving to be a better man to build a future with her, and he’s coming to find that it’s not always difficult and arduous - though it can be that, too.

In her keeping the tone easy and light they can pretend there hasn’t been years of buildup to talks like this, that it’s merely no different than the many random conversations they’ve entertained as hours ticked past them. “You have a slyer sense of humor than many give you credit for, while we’re on the topic. It’s good. It means I’m never bored when we talk.” Which is a huge compliment coming from Kaz, who sizes up, assesses, and dismisses most of the world within moments socially. He’s an introvert who often prefers his own thoughts, save for a select few. “Are you hungry? I have some things stashed in my drawers. And safe.” The snacks he knows she likes he’s stored so that nobody with sticky fingers can reach. Jesper might attempt to ransack his drawers, the Dregs have a policy of eat or be eaten, but nobody can break into his safe.
